Communities

The concept of FOCIS embodies a powerful idea – that interrelationships between fields and the sharing of clinical immunology expertise will build a better and faster pathway to improve knowledge that leads to new therapies for inflammatory diseases.

FOCIS fosters an interdisciplinary approach to understand and treat immune-based diseases through a variety of communities.

Member Societies

FOCIS was established as a federation of disease- and organ-specific associations that have an interest in interdisciplinary and translational immunology as a component of their main area of practice/study.

FOCIS has grown to more than 60 Member Societies that collectively represent over 65,000 basic and clinician scientists.

Any non-profit organization that has a demonstrated interest or involvement in the field of clinical immunology is eligible to apply for Member Society status. FOCIS does not represent a competing organization, but instead offers a way to bring interested clinician scientists together, enhancing the benefits you provide to your members.
